I agree with Lainacas that Kim Jong Il is controlling north korea. These people are living in poverty while he is using his income to provide himself with all the royalty that he has. Him and his father have ruled for many generations and have controlled the people to follow his actions as he pleases and makes new laws depending on what he feels is right. He is using the people in his country to provide himself with the lavishes that he lives by and it is unfair that he does this with the Totalarian government. By him not allowing people in and out of his country it shows that he is trying to hide something and that north korea has been secluded from the world and they feel that they are better then everyone else. North korean people need to realize that Kim Jong Il is out to better himself and not the people, only to help his reputation as a leader.
